      VISITING ASSISTANT PROFESSOR POSITION AVAILABLE

              Department of Computer Science
                     Duke University

A postdoctoral position at the level of Visiting Assistant
Professor of Computer Science is available starting August 2001
in the Department of Computer Science at Duke University, 
under the supervision of Prof. Jeff Vitter.  Duke is an equal
opportunity employer.  The position, which is contingent upon
grant funding, is for one year and can be extended for one or more
additional years by mutual consent.  Applicants must have clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in algorithms design and
implementation.  Familiarity with external memory algorithms and
indexing is a definite plus.  Teaching responsibilities include
one research course per year.

The position will include membership in the Center for Geometric
and Biological Computing, a collaborative effort funded by the
Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation.
The problems of interest center around high-performance geometric
and biological applications.  They include development of
efficient methods for spatial databases, geographic information
systems, and indexing, especially those dealing with massive
amounts of data. 

The candidate is expected to play a vital role in the development
and/or use of the TPIE programming environment for external memory
computation (http://www.cs.duke.edu/TPIE/).  Additional
responsibilities will be to interact with agency scientists and to
help prepare contract, technical, and other reports.

Please send a letter of interest and your CV, and ask three
evaluators to send letters of reference, by US Mail or email, to
